		+
		+	Yes, in 2007 and 2009.
		+
		+	We don't have much information about the 2007 participation, but we know that there were some positive and negative aspects involved with the experience. In 2007, we had some successful projects that greatly helped our organization. But, during the course of the program, we had student attrition, something that didn't occurred last year mostly due to the commitment and work of everyone involved.
		+
		+	Last year we had a very successful participation, that in our opinion was a very pleasant experience to everyone, we totally achieved our main objectives.

		+
		+	The Maemo community is applying to participate in GSoC, because we think that GSoC can help our organization in several ways. We also have former GSoC students and mentors who are very enthusiastic about the program.
		+
		+	Aside from the benefits of participating in a program like GSoC, we have already improved by the action of applying: a lot of brainstorming has been accomplished and new ideas have arisen.. Still, we have many goals to achieve through our participation in GSoC. These are:
		+
		+	* Attract new people to the open source world.
		+	* Bring new, talented developers to our community.
		+	* Get help in some of our community projects.
		+	* Meet new people and have fun during the summer.
		+
		+	Effectively, the Maemo community is applying as a "umbrella" organization: we will host projects that will most likely benefit many other embedded platforms & environments that have nothing to do with Maemo itself.

	The Maemo community is a very active and friendly community. During the GSoC coding period, our mentors will help to motivate the students. But our community will also be integral in helping to motivate, making suggestions, and overseeing the scope of each project. In effect, the students can feel a community reward: to be a part of the community. This community commitment will ensure more collaboration with our community aside from GSoC. We believe that the community reward and motivation is one of the key factors for any good and solid open source project.		The Maemo community is a very active and friendly community.
